This mandate remains unchanged, and the IDT’s corporate strategy is grounded in this mandate and its role as a public entity and development agency DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVES Development Agencies: Historically established to drive transformation and innovation. IDT’s track record confirms its effectiveness in this regard “Development is about achieving the full set of human aspirations and about an increase in the autonomous competence of society to sustain itself and be prosperous under changing conditions Human centered development & poverty eradication: social policy objective since 1994. However limited success with eradicating chronic poverty Hence draft long-term comprehensive anti-poverty strategy 2010/30 Strategic Vision locates IDT, established development agency and redistributive mechanism with national presence and reach, as a vehicle within the delivery value chain of a long-term comprehensive poverty eradication strategy. Executive Summary cont. : 2010/30 Strategic Vision Government expectation: Anti-Poverty Strategy will reduce dependency on the state & establish sustainable livelihoods. However, this demands participation of poor households and communities & an appropriate balance between a demand–driven and supply-driven approach, which is a fundamentally different approach. IDT’s 2010/30 Strategic Vision is premised on the understanding that the eradication of chronic intergenerational poverty requires a long-term strategy, and the 2010/12 Corporate Strategy is the short-term plan for the implementation this Strategic Vision. The 2010/30 Strategic Vision embodies a number of principles: shaped by the aspirations of & indicators for well-being as expressed by poor households and communities. Peoples’ participation IDT will strengthen its social facilitation and community mobilisation role Partnerships with institutions with complementary mandates Retain and strengthen the delivering on public-mandate programmes (but at full cost recovery.) Invest IDT’s financial resources in community-mandated programmes, which will include, research and documentation; design and implementation of communitydriven projects; institutional capacity building; and resource mobilisation. Executive Summary cont. Strategic Objectives To attain sustainable livelihoods through people centred development interventions To pioneer innovative development solutions To ensure excellence in service delivery Figure 1: Together, Eradicating Intergenerational Poverty Sustainable Development Solutions IDT Methodologies & Resources Partner Resources COMMUNITY ASPIRATIONS & ASSETS IDT social facilitation & mobilisation igniting innovation OVERVIEW : PAGE 7-17 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: (covered in an earlier slide Strategy) DEVELOPMENT SECTOR OVERVIEW: discussed in previous slide on Business Model. In addition refers to the recommendations of the DFI Review, e.g., “the IDT is broadly meeting its mandate.” SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS: Universal compact to eradicate poverty & the national development agenda affirms international development priorities, e.g., MDGs MDGs are minimalist, e.g., the target for the goal of halving the number of people living in extreme poverty, is earning 1$ (US) per day. Draft Anti-Poverty Strategy fundamentally shifts from the minimalist MDG targets and indicators towards addressing chronic, intergenerational poverty at household level and which takes account of the racial, spatial and gender dimensions of poverty Chronic intergenerational poverty is “poverty that is passed from one generation to the next, that is, the most severe form of chronic poverty, can be assessed by comparing the wellbeing of two generations within the same household.” Based on international best practices we argue for the appropriate institutional mechanisms & IDT’s positioning as the dedicated development agency supporting government with the implementation of a comprehensive, integrated, anti-poverty strategy OVERVIEW CONT.: STRATEGIC NICHE: As a flexible and innovative development agency and in its quest to remain relevant, the IDT’s strategic focus has shifted: 1990-1998: independent, civil society, grant-making agency 1999-2003: Focus in the 1st Decade of Democracy -supply-driven development delivering the RDP through, for example, social infrastructure and other development outputs. Since the 1st-year of becoming a public entity the IDT managed a portfolio of social infrastructure and social development programmes almost exclusively in rural areas of in poorer provinces 2004-2007: Vision for the 2nd Decade of Democracy (2004-2014) - halving poverty and unemployment, economic integration of marginalised communities and groups, measurable improvements in the quality of life and social cohesion. Hence in 2004 IDT responded with a strategic shift in focus from development outputs to designing and delivering development outcomes and impact. 2007-09: Based on an analysis of the environment, the IDT developed a more focused interpretation of its role & Corporate strategy was targeted at women as the primary beneficiaries, partners and participants 2010/30: The IDT redefined its role and will invest its resources exclusively in the eradication of intergenerational poverty In spite of these strategic shifts, the IDT’s business model remained anchored in the eradication of poverty, unemployment and social exclusion OVERVIEW CONT.: STRATEGIC VISION LONG-TERM (15-20 YRS) : Best practices in successful poverty eradication typically: only able to report on impact after a period of 15-20 years; recognises the feminisation of poverty & role of women. IDT is established as the fully fledged implementation arm in the delivery of the Anti-Poverty Strategy; the development agency which designs and pilot innovative approaches to sustainable development and poverty eradication; and Evaluates, documents and packages models such that it can be absorbed by line functions and the IDT can initiate innovation process in a new development challenge The country would have fundamentally transformed the face of poverty. No further need for a development agency focusing on the eradication of intergenerational poverty MEDIUM TERM (15-10 YRS): The IDT Is proving its effectiveness as the innovation arm of government’s poverty eradication and sustainable development delivery system. Developing and testing flexible, responsive systems and processes for innovation and replication. Has changed its portfolio from the current dominance of social infrastructure. The latter is one of the methodologies enabling entry into communities OVERVIEW CONT.: STRATEGIC VISION SHORT TERM (10-5 YRS): Currently 95% of the IDT’s budget and 85% of its effort is dedicated to social infrastructure delivery. The organisation will Fundamentally shift its service delivery models and will no longer subsidize public-mandate social infrastructure delivery. This service will be undertaken at full cost recovery. Become more selective about the programme management agreements it enters into, giving preference to those which have potential for building innovative community-based models and for building the capacity of civil society organisations and community-based structures to influence, participate and sustain development investments. IMMEDIATE FUTURE (0-5 YRS): 2010/12 is viewed as the short-term period of the 2010/30 Strategic Vision 2009/10 as the entry year Execute a turnaround strategy and the strategies, strategic objectives and targets in the 201/12 Corporate Plan are thus directed at achieving such a turnaround.

E.g., submission to Social Cluster to deliver 9 functional schools (IDT funded Mud Schools Programme); implementing agency for the nonstate sector of EPWP 2 2010/12 Budget Main considerations • DFI Review: (Business Case & expected funding) • Strategic shift • Existing financial capacity over the MTEF period Budget: Main features • Expenditure (excl. provisions) up by R29.7 million (9.1%) • Investment income down by R16.3 million (17.9%) • Management fees up by R14.5 million ( 152%) • Funding drawn from capital base up by R36.2 million ( 10.4%) before prior year funding of Mud Schools Budget Apportionment Provision 8% CSU 23% DPS (Including Strategic projects) 55% FSU 6% Office of CEO 8% Standard cost categories R mil • Salaries % 187.5 48.9 50.25 13.1 (incl. training) • • Consultancy fees Travel & accommodation 37.41 9.7 (Air and land) • Office rent, impr. and rates & taxes • Tel. and data lines • Media and Communic. • Other 13.57 12.59 8.11 55.63 3.6 3.4 2.1 14.5 Budget shifts in line with strategic shift • R 51.5 million ring fenced for direct community driven programme interventions • Management fees adjusted upwards in line with new contractual expectations • Material expenditure increases not possible (reliance therefore on transformation of operations) Guidelines for Outer Years • Turnover expected to stabilize • Salary increase aligned to expected rate of inflation • Contractual escalations • Inflation projected 7% • Community mandated poverty eradication programmes maintained for full period • Management fees increased to achieve cost recovery in 5 years • Non cash items provided for MTEF Comparative Figures 2007/2008 2008/2009 2009/2010 2010/2011 2011/2012 R million R million R million R million R million Investment income 74.2 90,9 74.6 48.5 17.5 Management fees 13,0 9.5 24 40 60 Total Revenue 87.2 100.4 98.6 88.5 77.5 Expenditure 248 479.1 383.3 409.0 450.0 Deficit 160,8 378.7 284.7 320.5 372.5 Main Fund 1377 999 715 394 23 (2008 and 2009 include Mud schools) Budget: Concluding Comments • Total budget increase is conservative and is in line with approved budget guidelines • Allocations can be afforded in MTEF period • Limited capacity exist to significantly impact on revenue generating capacity in the short term • Cost efficiency of project initiated Partnerships Partnerships Partnerships are inspired by IDT’s mission to work “with strategic partners, [to] enable poor communities to access resources, and to recognize and unlock their own potential to continuously improve the quality of their lives”. These have included: International corporation partnerships directed at improving the capacity of the IDT and state to deliver such as Kellogg Foundation and the Republic of Cuba Civil Society partnerships directed at gender mainstreaming and women’s empowerment including the Progressive Women’s Movement of SA, SA Women in Dialogue (SAWID), South African Women in Construction (SAWIC) those directed at promoting economic participation, social cohesion and sustainable livelihoods which have included economic sector partners including small and medium sized contractors, the NEF, and Lonim Platinum as well as civil society organisations such as Khanya and SOMAFCO X Consequently the IDT is in the process of finalising its stakeholder and resource mobilisation strategies with a view of integrating and synergizing its relations Long-term Sustainability of the IDT Perspectives on sustainability Overall sustainability refers to achieving a balance between relevance of purpose, financial viability and institutional integrity Relevance is key: Pertains to the IDT’s ability to remain relevant and efficient, adding value to the national development priorities through programmes and initiatives aimed at the redress, redistribution and the eradication of poverty. Hence in terms of its mandate, the IDT offers a unique suite of services, which differentiates it from other institutions: − Models, products and services for development programme implementation, harnessing of resources with strategic partners and improving delivery capacity. − Rapid assessment and implementation of interventions and ability to reach the remote areas of the country. − A knowledge–based institution with sound monitoring and evaluation systems and tools − Quality services that consistently add value (not extra hands) − However, the IDT must be financially sustainable in the medium term if it is to achieve overall effectiveness Board Decisions: August 2005 Approved a business model which is a hybrid of three options: A: IDT Profile Services: innovative projects designed and implemented by the IDT and in which the IDT invests its own resources B: Service Delivery Programmes: where the IDT renders programme implementation (current turnover programmes) at full cost recovery including programmes delivered free in the past C: Specialist Support Services: commercial projects, where the IDT’s expertise and resources are required and are important enough for the client to be prepared to pay a premium (e.g. strategic planning, programme evaluation, designing poverty profiles) Key Assumptions underpinning the Board Decisions: August 2005 The IDT must invest its resources in innovative models of people-centered development and create the best practices and success stories in poverty eradication. This implied: The reduction of the capital base The IDT would be able to demonstrate its effectiveness to the Shareholder and citizenry thus persuading them to recapitalize the IDT as a further investment to the national development agenda. The Board decision 25-Oct-06 Accepts that operational budget might\will in future exceed income. However the IDT remains: Relevant in its mandate Invaluable to the Shareholder A leading development agency Did not and could not have predicated: the real value of inflation which has decreased purchasing power of the capital base. Fluctuating & diminishing real interest rates which are well beyond our control Escalating cost with the exponential growth in business. This growth in the portfolio is expected to continue The outcomes of the DFI review which confirmed the IDT’s role as a development agency but also highlighted the need for the IDT to charge public sector entities for services rendered Long-term Sustainability: three interdependent pillars Financial Sustainability Institutional integrity Relevance of Mandate LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY Relevance of mandate National Development agenda Financial Sustainability PFMA: Schedule 2 Niche Capital Base Institutional integrity Quality of outputs Leadership Comparative Advantage: ‘Market’ Opportunities Operational Budget Human Capital Business Case Process In June 2006 The IDT, with the support of DPW approached National Treasury, who recommended the Business Case process. Started in Nov-06, but halted due to the DFI Review which was ‘concluded’ in May-07 Resumed Business Case in Aug-07 May 08: Business Case rationale for sustainability (and thus the work done based on this rationale) rejected by the Board. Limiting visions. Agreed that the process would be resumed after finalisation of the corporate Strategy Business Case: Current Status Costing Model: critical element of the Business Case due to be completed by 31 May Cabinet Memo: For a Cabinet decision on mandate of the IDT and to recognise that the IDT must be recapitalised or ‘come on line’ or a hybrid of both Technical process: rationale has been revised based on the 20101/30 Strategy as opposed to the rationale definition process being led by consultants.
